> Is it really that bold? The claim in question was: > I am sorry, but modern frameworks such as Vue or React make you an order of magnitude more productive. And yes, that really was that bold. This classic paper has held up pretty well for three decades: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Silver_Bullet > Clearly there's a reason people are making this choice. Maybe they're just following fashion because they don't know any better. Maybe they're trying to gild their resumes. Or maybe they really do have a problem that a particular framework solves or mitigates. There are doubtless many reasons. But it's a huge leap of logic to base on that, a claim that frameworks make you an order of magnitude more productive.
